Photographing the street, I discovered that I very much like shop windows, and mannequins in particular.
I see them as real people with feelings, emotions, emptiness, shallowness. I see in them the people of today.
People who love, people that are sad or lost, trapped or perhaps free?
I like to create stories with them.
This story is that of a typical human life in the present day society.
I would love to exhibit a curated "Mannequin Project" someday. I imagine my photos printed on Photo Rag paper, frame white, passepartout white 10 cm, image size A3.
"We did not ask for this room or this music; we were invited in.
Therefore, because the dark surrounds us,
Let us turn our faces toward the light.
Let us endure hardship to be grateful for plenty.
We have been given pain to be astounded by joy.
We have been given life to deny death.
We did not ask for this room or this music.
But because we are here, let us dance.”
Stephen King and Bridget Carpenter ("11.22.63" TV mini-series)
